Dikaryotic is based on the Greek root word?

The word "dikaryotic" is based on the Greek root word "di-", meaning two.

Here's why:

* "Di-" refers to the presence of two nuclei within a single cell.

* "Karyo-" refers to the nucleus of a cell, coming from the Greek word "karyon" meaning "nut" or "kernel".

Therefore, dikaryotic describes a cell that has two nuclei, highlighting the "di" part of the word.
